Behaviour & Codes of Conduct

Full details of the school's behaviour policy and expectations will be circulated to all parents/carers and students in September, but the behaviour policy can be found in the policy section.

Planners

All Year 7 students will be issued with a planner in September. We require all students to keep copies of their timetables in their planner.

ClassCharts

The school uses a system called ClassCharts to monitor all aspects of your child’s progress. Once your child is placed on the school system in September you will be able to access this internal monitoring system by logging in to either the website (www.classcharts.com) or by downloading the free mobile app (available on both IOS and Android by searching for Class Charts) and using the appropriate unique codes that will be issued in September. This will allow you to have access to the following information for your child or children.

• Behaviour points – both positive and negative
• Detentions – see when detentions are set and when they have been completed.
• Homework – see when homework is due, details of the task, and whether it is submitted on time.
• Timetable – see details of your child’s timetable.
• Attendance – see details of your child’s attendance record (The current day will not be shown, any issues will continue to be communicated via the attendance office)
